Holographic projection technology has already been widely used in reality. In the concert of the Japanese virtual idol "Hatsune Miku", the animated image of Hatsune was displayed through 3D holographic projection technology, which was quite realistic. In many fields, this technology is not only applied once, but the projection equipment is still quite large and expensive, and it will take time to be as compact as in "Star Wars".

The music superstar, sneaker tycoon and former presidential candidate Kanye West gave his future ex-wife Kim Kardashian a birthday gift, which was her dead father Robert Kardashian ( Robert Kardashian's "holographic technology" is a real person phantom, and the real person has been dead for many years.

For the general public, holographic technology may seem a bit mysterious and tall, but in fact, before the Spring Festival Gala this year, holographic technology has been applied in many scenes. Jay Chou’s "Magic Tianlun" world tour concert in Taipei, Teresa Teng, dressed in a white cheongsam, slowly rises from the stage, as graceful as ever, not only performing the classic golden song "How Do You" with Jay Chou, but also creating Jay Chou "Red Inn" and "A Thousand Miles Away" dedicated voices. When talking about singing duet with "Teresa Teng", Jay Chou said bluntly that "I feel like she is really right next to him", and the audience also thought that Teresa was still on earth.

Similarly, at the Billboard Music Awards Ceremony in the United States, the late Michael Jackson appeared on the stage, allowing MJ fans to once again appreciate the demeanor of the king; and the legendary musician Frank Zappa has passed away 27 years, but he will still be holographic In the form of a world tour called "The Wonderful World of Frank Zappa". The story of the star's "resurrection" shows the superb ability of holographic technology to restore reproduction and scene reconstruction.

In recent years, many celebrities have been resurrected from the dead in the form of ghostly "holographic technology", including Whitney Houston, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Vince Lombard, Michael Jackson, Luo I. Orbison, Frank Zappa, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Glenn Gould, Maria Callas, Buddy Holly and Ronnie James Dior.

Everyone calls these artifacts "holographic", but this is a misnomer. By definition, holography is a 3D projection that can be viewed from different angles. At present, many of these entertainment activities are 2D projections, which require the audience to sit in the correct position.

Some "holographic holograms" use a technique called Pepper ghosting. The pioneer of this technology first demonstrated by the British scientist John Henry Pepper in 1862, Pepper's Phantom took advantage of the fact that light can pass through glass but can also be reflected from glass. The idea is to place the glass at a 45 degree angle and then illuminate the hologram from below. The audience can see through the glass, but can also see the reflection of holographic technology, which appears in the same visual space as behind the glass.

This is the effect that Disney has long used in the "haunted house" attraction in Disneyland. The ghost seemed to be dancing in a room. The room can be seen through the glass. The "ghost" is mechanized and dances underneath the visitor, but it is reflected in the slanted glass between the visitor and the room.

The WiMi holographic team represented by domestic holographic technology has created the third-generation 6D light field holographic technology product through years of technical research and development, and its simulated user experience can be described as breathtaking.

Apple increases research and development of holographic AR.
According to reports, Apple is developing two augmented reality products. The first may be a set of goggles mainly used for VR. The real world and virtual world will be fused together and then displayed on two very high-resolution screens built into the goggles.

In the second product, the real world will be seen through transparent glass, and virtual objects will appear like holograms in the real world. These will be designed for all-weather daily wear.

Dozens of large companies may eventually make such glasses, but Apple will make the technology mainstream. For many people, it is only a matter of time before normal reality is always enhanced.

Consumer-grade AR glasses will enable simulation of 3D holograms-different people viewing the same virtual object will see it from their own perspective.

Generally speaking, artificial intelligence (and General Adversarial Network (GAN) technology, especially the machine learning framework behind all advanced products) combined with AR will be able to reproduce faces, body language, and behavior in 3D and the real world. Voice, and any person’s verbal expression that can persist after death. If you want, they will allow you to create a dead person, a real person.

These digital simulations will become interactive, so you can have a conversation with them. Views, beliefs and knowledge of actual people can also be uploaded to the portfolio, and real world knowledge can be added.

With the full rollout of 5G, the next stage of development of the holographic industry may also usher in a new turning point. According to the latest report released by Mordor Intelligence, the holographic display market was valued at US$1.654 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to US$7.601 billion by 2024.
